Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife Chapter 705 – Replace Feng Yu Heng?

Replace Feng Yu Heng?
Lu Yan’s words were quite vague, and Fu Ya could not figure out what exactly she meant, thus she could only introduce herself: “I am maidservant of Lady Yao. My name is Fu Ya. Young Miss, you should have mistaken my identity.”
Lu Yan immediately understood. It turned out she really did make a mistake, but she could not stop herself from sighing: “You really are too similar. You and Imperial Daughter Ji An really do resemble each other too closely. It’s no wonder her own mother would make a mistake, but…” Lu Yan thought quickly, as all kinds of vile thoughts appeared. When she spoke up once more, she had a bit of a grief-filled look for Fu Ya: “Even Lady Yao says that you are her own daughter, so has Miss never thought of yourself as Lady Yao’s daughter?”
Fu Ya frowned, “How could that be possible? I have my own parents. Although they are no longer alive, I can ensure that I am not Lady Yao’s daughter. I am not Imperial Daughter Ji An.”
“Hah, why are you so frank?” Lu Yan grabbed Fu Ya’s hand without any unfamiliarity, “If Lady Yao says yes, that’s who you are. Then what of Imperial Daughter Ji An? If Lady Yao says she is not, then she is not. Is there anyone who knows her own daughter better than the mother? Miss! What’s impressive about you is your face. Why do you not know to value it and use it?”
Fu Ya was startled and subconsciously reached up to feel her own face. Lu Yan saw that she did not have too much of a reaction and could not help but say: “Think a bit about what Imperial Daughter Ji An has. Now, think about what you have? You being able to come into the palace today, it’s probably because Lady Yao agreed, right? That’s why you need to think about what else Lady Yao can give you. If you truly want to be Lady Yao’s daughter, your karmic reward will truly be too much.”
Lu Yan spoke up to this point, and a wicked smile appeared on her face. Fu Ya, however, was frozen in place. Lu Yan’s words repeatedly echoed inside her mind, and they repeatedly assaulted her senses. It was not as though she had never thought the same thing before. When Yao shi had first said that she was her daughter, she had felt flustered and uncertain for an instant. She had once thought that if she was Yao shi’s daughter, would all of Feng Yu Heng’s things become her things?
But Fu Ya was not a fool. She knew that was impossible. In that instant, she cut off that thought that she should not have. But cutting off that thought was pointless. She spent every day accompanying Yao shi, and the closer Yao shi became to her, the times that they were intimate would create a misconception. It caused her to no longer know who she was.
Gradually, Fu Ya realized that she was no longer quite as resolute, “Replace Feng Yu Heng?” Although it could not be considered that, the deaths of her parents replayed in her mind once more. The cause and effect were replayed over and over. In the end, she came up with a new definition of Feng Yu Heng: Enemy!
She was no longer a benefactor as her mother had said. Instead, she was an enemy.
Indeed, without Feng Yu Heng acting as her substitute, and without Feng Yu Heng entering that magic troupe, her family would not have met with this ending. Everything was caused by Feng Yu Heng. She would have to get it all back from Feng Yu Heng. How should she get revenge for this enmity? Perhaps what that miss just now had said was right. She was Yao shi’s daughter. Only by becoming Yao shi’s daughter could she obtain a higher position, obtain support and could begin to plot her revenge.
A twisted confidence suddenly appeared in Fu Ya’s mind…
When Feng Yu Heng returned to Heavenly Hall, the sound of music continued to fill the air. Seeing that she had changed her clothes before returning, the people that saw her could not help but look a bit surprised. But there were also people that did not mind too much. After all, Feng Yu Heng often went to the palace. Imperial Concubine Yun also lived in the palace. Keeping a few sets of clothes in the palace was not strange.
It was Princess Wen Xuan that waved to her when she returned. Calling her to her side, they warmly chatted for a while. After that, she quietly asked: “Did you see the girl at your mother’s side?”
Feng Yu Heng knew that she was asking about Fu Ya, and she knew that Yao shi had obtained an invitation from Princess Wen Xuan, but she had not see Fu Ya enter the palace, thus she shook her head, “No.”
Princess Wen Xuan was a bit worried and said: “Qian Rou asked me for an invitation for that girl. There was nothing I could do and could only give it to her, but at the same time, I decided to keep an eye on the person that came into the palace. As a result, I came into the palace early, but I still have not seen her appear. I keep feeling uneasy.”
Feng Yu Heng comforted her: “Aunty Lan, don’t worry. Don’t take it to heart. Ever since mother had been dosed with spirit-altering drug, she has been a bit extreme. Also, I truly spent too little time with her. Zi Rui also went off to study. She just hopes to have someone like a child at her side. It happens that Fu Ya looks very much like me. She should… be like a bit of hope to her, right!”
Princess Wen Xuan let out a sigh. Grabbing Feng Yu Heng’s hand, she said: “Child, you are always thinking about others. There are some things that I should not say, but your mother and I have been close friends for many years. You and Tian Ge are also very close. It would be fine if I just kept it bottled up inside.”
Feng Yu Heng quickly said: “A-Heng has always thought of Aunty Lan as an elder. In A-Heng’s mind, Aunty Lan is like a mother. That’s why Aunty Lan should speak without worry.”
Princess Wen Xuan nodded. Only then did she say: “The change in Qian Rou’s personality is quite extreme. Spirit-altering drug is naturally the cause, but aside from this, have you never thought that allowing it to develop in this direction is truly too lacking in benefit to you?! It’s been a long time since the spirit-altering drug. A-Heng, you’re a divine doctor. The source of her illness, Aunty Lan naturally has a bit of a grasp. Because the illness has been like this, isn’t this reasoning too forced?”
Princess Wen Xuan’s words were all on-point, and they were all thinking of Feng Yu Heng. Feng Yu Heng was able to tell. In this dog-eat-dog world, her being able to run into the Yao family and someone like Princess Wen Xuan, who were all good elders was already a blessing; however, she could not manage to protect her own mother.
She lightly breathed and said: “I know.”
Princess Wen Xuan was also feeling helpless, “You are a smart person. You know everything, but since you know everything, you should make some more preparations. Qian Rou, based on her personality, just let her stir things up for a bit. After all, she is your birth mother, and you can’t do much about her. But the one at Qian Rou’s side… what was her name?”
“Fu Ya.”
“Right, you need to think carefully about how you’ll handle that Fu Ya. You can’t just allow her to just remain at your mother’s side. For her to spend her days calling her mother, even an outsider like me feels uncomfortable from hearing it. As I see it, A-Heng, you should not have brought that sort of girl back to the capital.”
Feng Yu Heng also felt helpless, “Back then, I did not want to bring her back, but I owe her. The reason for the death of her parents is me. I have a responsibility to take care of her survival. Second, it’s also as His Highness the ninth prince said. She looks too similar to me. I had to bring her back to keep an eye on her. If she was kept on the outside, I’m afraid that there will be trouble.”
Princess Wen Xuan frowned. She wanted to say something but did not say it. She was a member of the imperial family. Even if she had a kind heart, it would depend on who she was dealing with. With Feng Yu Heng, she could be kind, but when it came to Fu Ya, although this matter would reflect on Tian Ge, the first thing that she would do would be to completely get rid of Fu Ya.
Helplessly shaking her head, she advised Feng Yu Heng: “Either way, you need to pay a bit more attention to this matter.” After thinking a bit, she added: “The invitation that she entered the palace with was given by me. If she did not come, that’s fine. If she did come and adheres to her status, I can tolerate it. But if she has any ulterior motives, A-Heng, don’t blame Aunty Lan for acting on your behalf.”
Feng Yu Heng nodded, saying resolutely: “Aunty Lan, don’t worry. A-Heng will not allow herself to be bullied by others. If she wants to cause a stir, I definitely will not forgive her.”
Just like this, the two agreed on this matter. Feng Yu Heng accompanied her for a while before returning to her own seat. After being seated, she secretly sized up the Emperor; however, she felt that the old emperor was quite a bit more spirited. Thinking about it, after Imperial Concubine Yun returned to the palace, it was not like there was absolutely no communication between the two. Although Imperial Concubine Yun did not make an appearance for this banquet, it was very clear that the Emperor’s mood was much more relaxed than during past banquets.
She continued to be seated next to Xuan Tian Ge and was seated toward the front. Xiang Rong was also pulled to sit at her side, but at the same time, another person appeared, the fourth prince Xuan Tian Yi. At this time, he was holding onto Xiang Rong and asking her: “Does it hurt or not? Say something. Just using your hair to hide it doesn’t do anything. Which family’s young miss is not dressed beautifully today. You’re the only one covering half of her face. Quickly let me see just how badly you’re hurt? Is the swelling really bad?”
Feng Xiang Rong was left powerless by his fussing. Since this was a palace banquet, she could not choose to not give a prince any face, nor could she speak too loudly. She could only force herself to endure and quietly say: “My second sister is a doctor. Even if I wanted to have someone take a look at it, it would be her. What are you taking part in this for?”
Xuan Tian Yi anxiously slapped the table, “If you don’t let me take a look at how badly hurt you are, when I send someone to the posthouse tomorrow to slap that woman’s face, how will I know how badly she should be slapped?”
Xiang Rong was stunned, “What? Whose face are you going to slap?”
“Whoever hit you, I will go and hit!” Xuan Tian Yi looked at her as though he was looking at an idiot: “Feng Xiang Rong, you might not want face, but I do. She, the daughter of a lowly Luo Province’s prefect, hit the master of a dignified prince. The face that was struck was not yours. It was mine, do you understand? Should I let her off for nothing?”
Xiang Rong felt that this logic was rather odd, “The one that was hit was clearly me. How did it end up being you?”
“That’s the reasoning. If you can’t understand it, it’s your brain that’s dumb.” Xuan Tian Yi did not have the patience and let go of Xiang Rong’s hand. He forcefully brushed aside the hair to take a look at the swollen face. Upon seeing it, he could not help but become dejected, “It’s already swollen to such a degree, yet you’re acting as though nothing happened?”
Xiang Rong was helpless, “It’s already been covered in ice. It’s much better.”
“Then what was it like when it wasn’t better?” Xuan Tian Yi was exasperated, “It seems that this great one did not get enough of reparations from him.’
Xiang Rong was stunned once more, “You demanded reparations?” She only recalled that her second sister wanted to get reparations for the pearl!
“Nonsense!” Xuan Tian Yi rolled his eyes at her then smiled wickedly, “Just wait and see. This great one got you a good reparation. With this, Feng Xiang Rong, you will be able to walk with your head held high.”
Xiang Rong was dejected, “Who are you greater than? Also, why can I not walk with my head held high right now? Have I killed someone or started a fire, or has my embroidery shop skimped on taxes? Why can I not walk with my head held high?”
Unfortunately, Xuan Tian Yi ignored her and said to a palace servant at his side: “Go and bring the Luo Province’s prefect here for this prince.”
